TLS, one page, 8.25 x 5.5, The World letterhead, August 15, 1930. Nice letter to a young collector. In part: “Your cheerful spirit is something that should be an inspiration to lots of folks that seemingly have something to complain about. I’m sorry that ‘Nize Baby’ is out of print…I hope the little autograph will suffice for the time being.” Above his signature Gross adds two ink sketches of two of his comic characters. A vertical fold through a single letter of signature and scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition. RR Auction COA.
